Leading names from the world of Formula One racing have put their photography skills to the test thanks to Zoom, an innovative new project in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSHCC).

Drivers and team principals were all asked to take a photograph of whatever subject they wanted.

The images will then be auctioned to raise money for the London hospital. Highlights of the collection include Lewis Hamilton’s ‘driver’s eye’ view from the cockpit of his car at the pits at Spa-Francorchamps, Sebastian Vettel’s favourite Alpine scene and Bruno Senna’s beach paradise.

Every photograph has been signed by the contributor and will be auctioned off by renowned motorsport auction specialists, Coys. Proceeds will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSHCC).

The event will culminate on Friday September 14 2012 at a VIP reception and live auction, attended by some of the Formula One contributors themselves. The auction will take place in the ballroom of London’s Wyndham Grand London Chelsea Harbour.
